Info

downloaded by Retask (which downloads the ship named ❖ Borg Cube). Borg Use Only icon [BO] – A card bearing this icon in its title bar can be stocked in your deck and used only when playing Borg. Borg Vinculum – See skill-sharing. bottom seed card – The bottom seed card at a mission is the card on the bottom of the mission stack (the first card you would encounter if attempting the mission). Brain Drain – See showing your cards. Brainwash – This event does not change a captive’s affiliation, but makes it compatible with your personnel and removes all affiliation based restrictions on using the Brainwashed personnel as your own. (See capturing.) Examples: • Galen will work with the Federation if Brainwashed, or with a Brainwashed Federation personnel (even if not Brainwashed himself). • A Brainwashed captive in your crew or Away Team does not add affiliationbased attack restrictions (e.g., a Brainwashed Federation captive will not prevent your Klingons from initiating battle). • A non-Borg captive Brainwashed by the Borg is not assimilated and thus may not share skills or scout, but may attempt missions of his affiliation (the Borg may not join the mission attempt and the Borg player may not score the mission points). The captive’s skills may be used for other purposes, such as using SCIENCE to enhance SHIELDS with Metaphasic Shields. • A Borg captive, Brainwashed by a non- Borg captor, will work with that affiliation, but may not join mission attempts. The captive’s skills may be used in other ways, such as using Transporter Skill to nullify an Anti- Matter Pod. A Brainwashed Talon Drone could assimilate an opposing personnel stunned in battle (it would immediately be placed under house arrest or would become a separate Away Team). Breen CRM114 – This Equipment card may report wherever your Breen or arms dealer is present, and only where your Breen or arms dealer is present, even when reporting by using another card (e.g., Devidian Door, Security Office). A Breen or arms dealer need not be present to acquire a Breen CRM114 seeded at Search for Weapons. Using this disruptor to damage a planet facility or landed ship is a special kind of attack (battle), requiring a leader in the Away Team and subject to all normal attack restrictions. The attack automatically succeeds; place one damage marker on the target from your Battle Bridge side deck (no damage is applied if you aren’t using the side deck). Cards involved in the attack are “stopped” and your opponent is allowed to counter-attack there normally. See once per turn. B’Rel – See affiliation and ship origin. brig – See capturing. Brunt’s Shuttle – See report with crew. Build Interplexing Beacon – See Stop First Contact. Bynars Weapon Enhancement – Erratum: Plays on ship. Ship is WEAPONS +2. (Cumulative.) Caithlin Dar – See Release This Pain. Calamarain – This event’s owner moves it in the same way as he would move a ship, but it is not a ship, is not affected by cards that affect ships, such as Q-Nets or Wormholes, and cannot move through the Bajoran Wormhole. Discard the event after either use (damaging a ship or killing Mortal Q). Calamarain cannot damage a cloaked or phased ship. See cloaking and phasing, Explore Interstellar Matter. This event may not cause damage that will destroy a ship. When used with a Battle Bridge side deck, it causes default damage. Draw the two damage markers from your side deck, one at a time, and place each one on the ship unless it would destroy that ship (in which case discard that damage marker instead). cancel – Act of preventing an action (such as a card play or a battle) from having its result. Any costs paid to initiate that action remain paid. When you cancel an action that was limited to once per turn, that action may not be initiated again during that turn. See nullify. cannot be stopped –See mission attempt. Captain Kirk – This personnel’s special skill, “May initiate battle against non-[Fed],” allows only his ship to initiate battle. Your other Federation ships (or ships with any Federation crew) present may not participate in that battle. (He may also lead an Away Team or crew in personnel battle.) See battle – affiliation restrictions. Captain Proton cards – Several cards in the Holodeck Adventures set represent people and things from Tom Paris’ holoprogram based on the 1930s sci-fi serial, The Adventures of Captain Proton. Like the world of Captain Proton itself, these cards are entirely in black-and-white. Any icons appearing on them should be treated as normal, color versions of those icons. Thus, Captain Proton is treated as a normal, Non- Aligned personnel; also, if you are probing for Omega Directive and reveal him as your probe card, his special download icon triggers the “Threat eliminated” outcome. Captain’s Log – Errata: Plays on table. Each of your ships with its matching commander aboard is SHIELDS and WEAPONS +3. (Captain’s Order.) See matching commander. Captain’s Order – In addition to the cards marked with this phrase, Captain’s Log, Lower Decks, Yellow Alert, and Senior Staff Meeting are also Captain’s Order cards. You need not have Ready Room Door or Commander’s Office (which list this definition) in play for these cards to be Captain’s Orders and downloadable by James T. Kirk. Red Alert is not a Captain’s Order. captives – Personnel who are “held” by a dilemma are not captives. See capturing. capturing – Some cards and rules allow you to capture your opponent’s personnel (never a personnel you control). Captives are disabled (unless a card such as Brainwash specifies otherwise). The captives are escorted by your personnel as follows: • Upon capture, captives are immediately relocated to one of your crews or Away Teams at that location, if possible (to the specific crew or Away Team making the capture, if any, such as when using Ilon Tandro or Captured). • Otherwise, the capturing card remains in play and serves as a temporary “trap” to hold the captives on your side of that location until your personnel can arrive to take them into custody. (If there is a planet at that location, the trap is on the planet.) • Your ship with transporters (in space) or your Away Team (on a planet) can subsequently take custody of the captives if present with the trap, then discard the trap card. Each of your crews and Away Teams may escort any number of captives, and may move them like Equipment cards. At any given time a captive can be in one of three conditions: (1) held by a trap, in a Brig, or by escorting personnel, (2) Brainwashed, or (3) left unattended. You may change the captive’s condition during your turn. A trap card placed on a captive is not in play; it is a marker of captive status and can no longer be nullified. For example, you may nullify Mandarin Bailiff with Q2 or Q- Flash when it is encountered (after the captive is selected but before placing the card on it as a trap), but not later. You may not initiate battle against personnel you have captured, unless a card
allows or requires it. See White Deprivation. All captured cards are returned to their owner at the end of the game. Brigs – Some cards allow you to add a Brig to a ship or facility. While you control the ship or facility, you may move captured personnel into and out of the Brig during your turn (while in the Brig they are held but not escorted). If your opponent commandeers or assimilates the ship or facility, his personnel may subsequently release any of his other personnel held captive in the Brig (if present). Rescue – Captives that are held or Brainwashed may be rescued only by using a card that specifically rescues or releases captives (such as Rescue Captives, His Honor The High Sheriff of Nottingham, or Prisoner Exchange). Unattended captives, however, are conceptually “tied up and left behind” and thus may be rescued by their owner’s other personnel present, without any special card. Whenever a captive is rescued or released, all capturing-related cards played on that captive are discarded. capturing-related card – This phrase, used on Prepare the Prisoner, includes any card that: • captures personnel or prevents their capture; • specifically affects captives or allows them to be used in any way; has an effect when a captive is taken or escorted; or • downloads, nullifies, or modifies another capturing-related card (specified by title). Examples of capturing-related cards include Thine Own Self, Ilon Tandro, Wolf, Brainwash, Rescue Captives, Impersonate Captive, Holding Cell Door, Fajo’s Gallery, Gul Madred, and Madred. card draw – A card draw refers to any card drawn from your draw deck (or from your discard pile, if using Carlos’ skill; but not from a side deck), either as the player’s end-of-turn draw(s) or through the use of a card that specifies that you “draw cards,” such as Kivas Fajo – Collector. (Cards chosen from your deck using a Betazoid Gift Box are not “drawn.”) Each card draw is a separate action. An action that is “in place of one card draw” may replace any card draw. Unless the action is explicitly restricted to once per turn, you may replace as many card draws as you are entitled to. For example, downloads with the Borg Queen’s special skill may replace any or all of the three card draws from Kivas Fajo – Collector. The replacement action must be performed at the time you would normally make that card draw. You may perform as many actions as you like each turn that have the restriction “draw no cards this turn” (e.g., playing a Q’s Tent, downloading with Ops). You may not then draw any more cards for the remainder of the turn, by any means (normal card draw, Kivas Fajo – Collector, Masaka Transformations, etc.), or use an ability (such as the Borg Queen’s special skill) that allows you to perform an action in place of a card draw. However, if the first action you perform imposing a restriction of “draw no cards this turn” triggers a “just” action or valid response of drawing a card, the “just” action or valid response occurs before the restriction takes effect. See turn, actions – “just.” card play – A card play refers to any card played by any means (normal card play for the turn, normal interrupt or doorway play, a card played “for free,” downloaded into play, Devidian Door, etc.), except those “drawn” from a side deck (such as a Tactic card drawn from a Battle Bridge side deck). Card plays are of two types: Personnel, Ship, Equipment, and Tribble cards report (for duty), while all other card types are simply “played.” See entries for specific card types for details of playing that card type. Your normal card play is defined as the one card play you are allowed each turn by rule. Although optional, this must take place before executing orders. Interrupts and doorways do not use up (or count as) your normal card play. All other playable card types use your normal card play unless otherwise specified, or unless brought into play via a mechanism such as downloading or as the direct result of playing an interrupt or doorway (such as Barzan Wormhole). If you are allowed to report a card using ongoing game text of a card that remains in play, such as Caretaker’s Array, then that report uses your normal card play (unless otherwise specified). Cards are always played face up, unless they have a hidden agenda icon. Except when playing a hidden agenda card, announce the name of the card when you put it into play. Your opponent may examine any card that you play face up at the time of play, but not later unless allowed by a rule or card. (See showing your cards.) An action that is “in place of your normal card play” must be performed when you would make your normal card play. Such an action may be a group action with several subactions; interrupts may not be played between those sub-actions. See actions – group. Only one such “replacement” action may be performed each turn. For example, two Spacedoors will not allow you to download two ships. card titles – Cards (other than Personnel and Ship cards) are grouped together in terms of their interactions with other cards by their card titles. A card title group consists of a card with a basic card title, plus one or more cards with the same basic card title followed by a colon or dash and an additional phrase. (Cards such as “HQ:” cards also form a card title group, even though there is no card named “HQ”.) When a card refers to a specific card title without a modifier such as “any”, it refers only to a card of that basic card title of a card title group (e.g. nullifies it, downloads it, is immune to it, plays on it), it applies to all cards in that card title group. Examples: • Calamarain is immune to both Kevin Uxbridge and Kevin Uxbridge: Convergence. • Incoming Message: Attack Authorization and Incoming Message – Federation are both nullified by Subspace Interference. • Bajoran Wormhole and Bajoran Wormhole: Mirror Universe may both be downloaded by Ultimatum or The Emissary. If one card title includes another, but they are not differentiated by a colon or dash, those cards do not form a card title group. Examples: • Neela cannot download Bajoran Phaser Rifle. • Long-Range Scan cannot be used to initiate battle at Nebula. card types – The current card types are Artifact, Doorway, Dilemma, Equipment, Event, Facility, Incident, Interrupt, Mission, Objective, Personnel, Ship, Site, Tactic, Time Location, Tribble, and Trouble. The following are not separate card types: cards of different affiliations; Outpost, Station, and Headquarters (all are Facility cards); Q-icon cards (a Q-icon dilemma is a Dilemma card, etc.); Mission II (Mission cards); and Combo dilemmas (Dilemma cards). A card that says it is “played as” or “used as” another card type counts as both card types for all purposes. (But a card that “seeds like” a dilemma does not count as a dilemma, and a card that is “moved like” equipment or a ship does not count as an Equipment or Ship card.) For example, an artifact that plays as an Event card can be nullified by Kevin Uxbridge: Convergence. An artifact that is used as an Equipment card may be stolen by a Procurement Drone, discarded to satisfy Rebel Encounter, or (if reclaimed from discard pile with Reclamation) reported in any way that an Equipment card may be reported. Artifacts must still be earned legally before use. Cardassian – An affiliation and a species. See affiliation and species.
